Whisper, a 116′ show-stopping luxury sailing yacht for charter in the Caribbean this winter, has reduced its charter rate to $69,000 per week plus expenses – a vacation savings of $6,000. This exquisitely appointed yacht is impeccably maintained and looks brand new. The handcrafted woodwork glistens with shine, and according to Kim Kavin of charterwave.com, the owner, “brings in an antiques specialist once a year to refresh all of the onboard woodwork. I looked carefully around the edges and in the corners, and I couldn’t find a single nick or scratch”. A crew of five offers 5-star service – a truly “barefoot elegance” experience. Whisper can accommodate 6 charter yacht guests in three en-suite cabins including a full beam master cabin with a queen berth Read more…

Che is the largest sloop rigged luxury charter catamaran in the world. At 114′ in length and 42′ in beam (width), this luxury charter yacht is all about balance as is evident in the intertwined yin yang symbol on her spinnaker. The owner did not want the interior to compete with the natural beauty of the locations where the yacht sails so you’ll find the decor to be simple and elegant, a bit understated. As its charter brochure states, “to give the boat a touch of sensuality and holiday ambiance, she (the owner) incorporated turquoise colours in a few decorative elements such as table tops and cushions to complement the sunny lagoons.” Although a high performance catamaran with the cruising speeds up to 20 knots, Read more…

The popular Caribbean mega yacht, “El Jefe,” starred in a recent episode of ABC’s “The Bachelor”… check it out. Although high end luxury charter yachts normally offer private getaways for high profile people and celebrities, romance and interlude splashed across the airwaves on this episode. We were aboard 115′ tri-deck, El Jefe, at the Antigua Charter Yacht Show this past December, and what stands out the most about this yacht is the enthusiasm of the crew. I especially enjoyed hanging out in the galley with chef Danny, an American from Haiti, whose cuisine is still infused with his Creole roots. A 4-time award winning chef, he is particularly known for his desserts, breads, soups, and his show stopping crab cakes. Danny speaks English, French, Read more…
